I was fortunate enough to have a rambling youth.

We respond to a drama to that extent to which it corresponds to our dream life.

We all die in the end, but there's no reason to die in the middle.

I understand that computers, which I once believed to be but a hermaphrodite typewriter-cum-filing cabinet, offer the cyber literate increased ability to communicate. I do not think this is altogether a bad thing, however it may appear on the surface.

Let the cut tell the story. Otherwise you have not got dramatic action, you've got narration.

There's something in me that just wants to create dialogue.

The realization that I came to is that each citizen for himself or herself understands the economics, which is, "I better make more than I spend and I better put something aside for a rainy day, and I want to get a good idea about what to do with the surplus so that perhaps it can grow while I'm sleeping." And that that's capitalism. Everybody practices it, but half of the country - those on the left - deny that it's true.
